[PATCH v6 00/11] implement vcpu preempted check

[Pan Xinhui]

change from v5:
	spilt x86/kvm patch into guest/host part.
	introduce kvm_write_guest_offset_cached.
	fix some typos.
	rebase patch onto 4.9.2
change from v4:
	spilt x86 kvm vcpu preempted check into two patches.
	add documentation patch.
	add x86 vcpu preempted check patch under xen
	add s390 vcpu preempted check patch 
change from v3:
	add x86 vcpu preempted check patch
change from v2:
	no code change, fix typos, update some comments
change from v1:
	a simplier definition of default vcpu_is_preempted
	skip mahcine type check on ppc, and add config. remove dedicated macro.
	add one patch to drop overload of rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner. 
	add more comments
	thanks boqun and Peter's suggestion.

This patch set aims to fix lock holder preemption issues.

test-case:
perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report

18.09%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] osq_lock
12.28%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] rwsem_spin_on_owner
 5.27%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_unlock
 3.89%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] wait_consider_task
 3.64%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] _raw_write_lock_irq
 3.41%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] mutex_spin_on_owner.is
 2.49%  sched-messaging  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] system_call

We introduce interface bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) and use it in some spin
loops of osq_lock, rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner.
These spin_on_onwer variant also cause rcu stall before we apply this patch set

We also have observed some performace improvements in uninx benchmark tests.

PPC test result:
1 copy - 0.94%
2 copy - 7.17%
4 copy - 11.9%
8 copy -  3.04%
16 copy - 15.11%
